The Everton deals come as a frantic end to what has been a superb transfer window for the Toffees, with the club also bringing in Lucas Digne and Richarlison.

Mina, who was linked with a move to Manchester United for much of the window, arrives a the club in a £30 million deal, providing boss Silva with the defensive lynchpin he has been so desperately craving.

Everton, who finished eighth in the Premier League last season, have long been viewed as the side most likely to mount a challenge to break into the illustrious top six.

While that target may still be someway off, the new deals will certainly help towards that end goal – and judging by the Twitter reactions below, fans believe in that too.
